Recycling & Revamping Caged Shoe DIY

If you pay attention to fashion, I’m sure you’ve noticed the onslaught of simple ankle strap sandals trending lately. It was bound to happen after these last 5 years or so of wild statement shoes. But also, Spring is here and toes everywhere are gravitating toward these easy-to-wear sandals in heels and flats.

A few months ago I found these ridiculously inexpensive ankle strap sandals by Michael Antonio and bought each color they came in. Yes they may have more of a slutty vibe than I’d like but seriously, they are $20, and I couldn’t resist. Even if only to create a fun DIY from, they are completely worth it.

I removed the leather pieces from my old silver heels and simply ran the ankle strap through the mesh to create a larger and more unique strap. This is a great example of why I love creating DIYs that are not permanent and easily removable, to use and reuse in new ways. I can also wear them around my wrists with a simple ribbon closure. {though, they could probably use a new coat of paint… and maybe even a silver nail polish would work better!}
